Raz Rahman, formerly of Altria Sales and Distribution, to oversee development of LOGIC electronic cigarette sales in the Northeast.

LOGIC Technology, developers of premium electronic cigarettes, has announced the addition of Raz Rahman to its key executives team.

In his role as Northeast Regional Director, Rahman will lead the rapid business development of LOGIC brands by accelerating distribution and improving market presence to further establish LOGIC as a category leader.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have Raz join our executive team,” said Miguel Martin, president of LOGIC Technology. “Raz has the knowledge and experience, with a proven track record, to bring LOGIC to next level and maintain its status as one of the leaders in the electronic cigarette space.”

Rahman spent 22 years with Altria Sales and Distribution, retiring from the company in 2013. Over the course of his career, Rahman held various leadership positions, most recently leading a team of 80 sales managers expanding Altria’s presence in his markets. In his previous role, Rahman was the director of trade relations for the company, where he helped further Altria’s relationship with the wholesale and retail trade, as well as organizations including the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) and American Wholesale Marketers Association (AWMA).

“I am excited to join LOGIC Technology during this time of rapid growth in the electronic cigarette industry,” said Rahman.  “I look forward to working with our trade partners to capitalize on this lucrative category.”

This addition to LOGIC’s executive team follows an announcement in July naming Miguel Martin as president of LOGIC Technology.  Like Rahman, Martin previously worked for The Altria Group, where he oversaw the largest tobacco sales and distribution organization in the United States, responsible for Phillip Morris USA, UST and John Middleton’s tobacco products.
